Your Commute.

[KRonn]

Thanks!    I'll be 64 this year and for me it's just time. At least to leave my current job and in a while maybe get a part time job, but "no heavy" lifting mentally or physically.  I'm done with the grind.  I've been wanting to retire for a while but waited it out for a while. At my work place they're going through a lot of heavy work, project after project and computer system upgrades coming up. Too much for what I want to do now. So that adds into my choosing to retire at this time.

So what tools do you use to calculate if you have enough money to retire?

I did calculations on what I will have coming in from all sources, then did calculations on taxes and health care plans and what I need monthly for expenses. It all looks ok, and I should be fine. I still have a small mortgage on my house but once that's paid Social Security will pretty much pay my monthly bills. Then I'll have a small pension plus savings and 401k plans from my company.

My three mile commute has remained the same. It gets lighter during the summer with school being out, and vacations lessening traffic. I just have one stop light to go through on a two lane highway which is usually about a ten minute wait, sometimes longer. (I go home for lunch every day, nice break, catch up on news, water my garden, etc.) But I won't be doing even that small commute after the end of October as I'm retiring.   

Congratulations KRonn,.  


You're just part of the advanced guard for when this place largley becomes a retiree filled room behind the shop.

Even Grumbler will have to catch up with me!   

But yeah, we've all been here for many years now! I think a couple others have already retired? If not then maybe soon I'll have company in the retiree's lounge.
